    About this audiobook

    In the city of Eldra, people are ruled by ancient prophecies. For centuries, the high council has stayed in power by virtue of the prophecies of the elder seers. After the last infallible prophecy came to pass, growing unrest led to murders and an eventual rebellion that raged for more than a decade. In the present day, Cassa, the orphaned daughter of rebels, is determined to fight back against the high council, which governs Eldra from behind the walls of the citadel. Her only allies are no-nonsense Alys, easygoing Evander, and perpetually underestimated Newt. Cassa struggles to come to terms with the legacy of rebellion her dead parents have left her, and the fear that she may be inadequate to shoulder the burden. But by the time Cassa and her friends uncover the mystery of the final infallible prophecy, it may be too late to save the city-or themselves.

      diverse teen fiction/fantasy-adventure (3 of main characters have darker skin and belong to a fictitious minority lineage)

      I'm on page 64 now but have a feeling I'll abandon this. The chapters are relatively short but seem to get bogged down with too much detail (background on characters and world-building). It may be that I'm just not in the right mood for this at this time; otherwise it looks like another great book from an acclaimed author.
    • 5/5
      This is the story of brave teens taking on an egregious amount of corruption.
      It does not have your typical ending, in my opinion, and I liked how all the loose ends were tied up. And the characters were all fantastic.
      The ending was sad. Depressing. But uplifting.
      There will be no sequel.
      Beautiful descriptions of everything.
    • 4/5
      I really enjoyed this. There's a diverse blend of characters dealing with everything from dead parents to panic attacks to physical abuse, as well as a wonderfully twisty story and interesting world building. Plus, FRIENDS! I love stories about friends navigating adventures together, and this group were particularly endearing. I love that Alys was fat, and early in the story thinks about her THIGHS CHAFING while she's running because chub rub is real and I cannot remember reading about it in a fantasy story EVER. I love the tentative slow blossom romance (and I HATED a late book scene that stole some bits of that romance it was SO EVIL). I love Cassa being kind of annoying to her friends but also feeling ALL THE THINGS and not really knowing how to process that. And related, I really enjoyed the contrasts between Vesper and Cassa's ways of approaching their problems. Basically, while the plot didn't necessarily wow me at every turn, this book gave me lots of feels and they were Good.

      ~~~~4.5 Stars~~~~This character driven standalone is pure YA Fantasy magic!! The writing is excellent. It is told in 6 varying POVs, each exceedingly unique and magnificent in their own rights. The characters are crisp, witty and incredibly beautiful in their diversity. Yes there is a motely crew of character tropes including a plus sized, anxiety stricken, female ace genius, a bisexual rogue and a m/m relationship so sweet it will surely tug at those heartstrings. I love how the topic of sexuality is broached so casually, not being the energy that fuels the plot, it is simply a noted fact and then the plot moves on. There are twists and turns aplenty that will not only amaze and keep you guessing into the wee hours BUT they might even break your heart... who's that sniffling? Not me!!Overall, I highly recommend this extremely satisfying read!!*** I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review ***
